A New Reality

The world does not like America and is disconnecting from us – just as the global economy is taking shape and being interconnected is paramount.

Given that America is not popular on the world stage, and that rising powers as they approach the level of economic strength as America, do not see it in their interested to be anything other than challenging to America in order to secure their own reputation on the world stage as an equal to America – most of the new Super powers to be are challenging the old order of international negotiation.

This is because Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South East Asia see the UN, the International Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the G20 a collection of the top 20 economies, and the other assorted organizations that have been the “center” of world discussion and therefore world peace since WWII or effectively the last century – as nothing more than puppets of America and Europe in order to hold onto power for America and Europe.

For the last 70 years, the World bank which is presents its face to the world as a bank for all nations, has never had a non European or American President. The UN itself is primarily financed by the West, with the rest of the world actually paying the bills for less than half of this global negotiation center that is supposedly to equally belong to all nations.

Whether the perception is true or not, nations that will be as big as America believe it, and have enough evidence to believe that it is true.

In response the rising world powers are pulling away from control or influence from America, openly challenging America, trying to remove America from influence around the world and most dangerous of all, every single one of the new Super powers is making their own versions of the UN, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South East Asia all have one since the mid 1990s, or right after the Cold War fell.

China has invented an organization called the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is the world’s largest regional security organization center, and it excludes America. Additionally China and the new rising superpowers are working together to remove the dollar from international transactions so that they can lock out America from being involved in all world trade. Brazil has also created Mercosur which presents itself as a trade block, but is not so much about trade between Latin America but creating a political organization that can keep America out. For example, FTAA was a plan led by America to extend NAFTA to the entire Western hemisphere; Brazil through Mercosur forced Latin America rejected the whole thing. South East Asias UN, called ASEAN rejected American demands for action on human rights. Later US officials were not at an ASEAN meeting.

Edward Snowden was an America who stole national defense secrets of America and gave the information to many of the rising UNs around the world. When he escaped America and ran for safety in Hong Kong, America demanded him back, the Chinese government refused. Later Snowden traveled to Russia, and America again demanded him back, the Russian government boldly refused.

These are all examples of things that are not reported in the American media, but all examples of things to come as America becomes less dominant and more of 1 of 7 equally larger super powers.

As new powers get larger, they listen to America less, challenge America more, care less about world peace institutions because they see them as organs of America and Europe. All of this collectively degrades world peace and security and creates what is called “a multi-polar world”, which multiple American foreign policy scholars call dangerous.

But it doesn’t stop there because in addition, the world because it doesn’t like America, and because it senses that America is losing its role as the only major power to do business with, as new major powers rise, international trade and investment in America has dramatically shrunk at the same time that America started its horrible image period and as new powers get closer to economic equality with America.

Foreign investment in America has been halved from 41% in 1999 to 18% in 2009, according to Global FDI. This is not due to the global recession because China’s foreign investment didn’t drop until 2011, three years into the recession, and it only decreased 10%. In 2009, foreign investment in EU grew 10%.

"Emerging powers show ambivalence toward global institutions…like the UN and IMF…Traditional alliances will weaken…This is a story with no clear outcome…[and is] without precedent in modern history." —Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World, (US National Intelligence Council, 2008).

"First of all the G-7 summit is a relic of the Cold War and the energy crisis of the 1970s. Second, the kind of leadership that was appropriate during the Cold War and before the great revolution in telecommunications is obsolete." —"Global Paradox" by John Naisbitt,

"I can’t think of a time when the US has been more isolated…And that can’t help when nations are trying to reach consensus in the WTO." - Mark Weisbrot of the Center for Economic and Policy Research —Nusrat Choudhury, "The Economic Impact of Anti-Americanism" (working paper, Princeton University, 2005).
